Queensland Attractions

Queensland is home to many of Australia’s major tourist icons. Queensland is known as the Sunshine state and is located in the north east of Australia. Seventy percent of Australia’s tourism products are in Queensland and it is a popular tourist destination for International visitors and Australians alike to roam free. Brisbane is the capital and has an international airport with regular flights from southern Australian capitals as well as many overseas destinations. Queensland’s best known tourist icon and one that is on every tourist itinerary is the Great Barrier Reef. This is the world’s largest living organism and is so large it is visible from space. It is the largest coral reef system in the world and is a world heritage listed icon. Divers and fishermen come from around the world to swim and explore its waters and almost all tourists, divers or not, come to see its magnificent beauty. Hayman Island and Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, is one of the best resort destinations from which to visit the reef and the city of Cairns in north Queensland is another favourite jumping off point. Just to the north of Cairns lies the fabulous Daintree rainforest which is another of Queensland’s world heritage listed icons.
